At the Flower Capital: Hana No Miyako De by Rihito Takarai

Motoharu, second child and successor of the Tsujimura clinic, has always held his childhood friend, Akira Hazumi, close to his heart.

Unfortunately, when Motoharu realized his affections towards Akira were more than just simply friendship, and confessed, their relationship became strained. Unable to reciprocate Motoharu’s feelings, Akira turned him down, and they slowly grew apart from one another.

Despite the ongoing tension between them, Motoharu still decides to enroll in the same university and department as Akira. However, it’s not easy getting over the pain of being rejected, and Motoharu soon finds himself visiting Geishas in the middle of the night, in a desperate attempt to forget everything that happened.

All that changes, though, when one day, Akira suggests they walk home together, and for the first time in a long time, things feel as if they’ve gone back to how they used to be. “If it means I can stay by your side, even as a friend—” That’s what Motoharu thought anyways…

Hana no Miyako de + Satoshi Kawabata

While Akira and Tsujimura are the main characters of their own story, Miyako de, it is also such a a short prequel, and their personalities are not quite fleshed out enough for me to make complete breakdowns of their types. Hence why I put them in this post together with Kawabata from Mizo Shiru.

Akira Hazumi - INTJ

Akira has known since he was a child that he would marry a wealthy woman, and couldn't bring himself to accept his feelings for Motoharu, because he knew they would have to part one day, and is unable to work against it because of society’s pressure and rules. He is only able to tell Motoharu how he feels when being pushed, both by the fact that their time together is running out, and by Motoharu himself urging him to be honest.

Motoharu Tsujimura - ESFJ

Motoharu is pleasant, and kind, and not afraid to say how he feels. At the same time, he is very aware of his social standing, and abides by what is expected of him. He chooses the same university and field as Akira, because he can't let go of his feelings for him, and because he feels he can never surpass his father and brother, no matter his choice. In the last chapter, he is excited to see Misaki, and is thoroughly reminded of Akira through him.

Satoshi Kawabata - ENFJ

An Unhealthy ENFJ, Kawabata is manipulative and controlling. He utilises his Fe and Ni to pull at Misaki’s insecurities, and even decide at times for Misaki what he is feeling. All the while, he is simultaneously really bad at knowing his own feelings, bad enough in fact, that it takes him years to admit to himself he has always seen Misaki as more than a “little brother”.
